All those with a chronic illness know all too well the tedium of constant hospital visits. On Monday I had a follow up on an ankle injury I sustained back in 2022 – this was the appointment I was on my way to in Dec when I crashed my bloody car. Anyway, it reminded me…

In this day and age you are quite entitled to identify as whatever you want, if social media has taught us anything, it’s taught us that. However, I identify as a woman, a female, as was assigned to me at birth. When we first moved to our house in a new area, I had to…

It’s no secret among those who know me, have ever met me, hell if they’ve even glanced across one of my social media profiles that I am a big dog lover. Bar one excruciating year when me and the Hubster first moved in together there hasn’t been a single time in my life when I…

Quite literally. So I’ve had my fair share of cars in the 24ish years I’ve been driving, passing my driving test was THE #1 priority as soon as I turned 17. And I LOVE driving. I started off with a little run around for my first two years and then quickly worked my way up…

So for those of you who have visited my page before, you’re probably aware I spend a reasonable amount of time on the floor. So much so that I’ve actually seriously considered making small snack bags to place around the house in case I get stuck there for any amount of time. I decided against…

Nobody tells you when you’re diagnosed with a condition such as MS just what you have to give up. You kind of work on the assumption that, yeah, you probably won’t be running any marathons (although people do!) or whatever but it’s the seemingly little things that really affect you. Or they do me anyway……

Weston Beach Race was always one of the biggest race meets of the year, still is in fact. Hundreds of quads and solo’s racing on the beach, 85mph down the straight, dunes and jumps as high as a house. It was incredible. It was also the social event of the year, marking the end of…

So me and the Hubster will be celebrating 10 years of marriage this September, sadly that also means I’ll be “celebrating” 10 years with this MonSter in November. Our wedding was epic. It wasn’t hugely fancy and I’m not one of those gushy girls that thinks everything is AMAZING, please don’t make me throw up…
